It’s been a good year for writer Rebecca Yarros. Her latest book, which has already racked up a serious list of superlatives for the year, just added another accolade to the long list of its successes, winning the title of Goodreads most-read book of 2025.
The Goodreads Reading Challenge is an annual campaign where Goodreads users set a personal goal of how many books they hope to read in the year and track their progress throughout the commitment. The challenge is geared toward helping readers stay motivated, accountable, and consistent with their reading.
While there is no actual voting, top picks are chosen through data based on what participants in the Goodreads Reading Challenge chose to read.
The Goodreads Reading Challenge runs for an entire calendar year, with users choosing their own goal and marking “read” as they complete each title. The site uses that data to determine the most-read books of the year across various categories like Fiction, Romantasy, Memoir, and Historical Fiction.

View this post on InstagramThe most-read overall book in the Goodreads Reading Challenge this year was Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros.
Published in January 2025, Onyx Storm is part of Rebecca Yarros’ fantasy/romance “romantasy” genre, which blends romantic drama with fantastical elements and has made the book a cult favorite with Goodreads readers. The story follows its heroine as she navigates danger, magic, and complicated bonds in a high-stakes world of dragon riders.
Onyx Storm is the third book in Yarros’ Empyrean series, which follows the first two books, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. The plot picks up after the events of Iron Flame. The heroine — and her dragon — face a dangerous new threat as dark magic–wielding enemies imperil everything they love. To save their world, she must seek powerful, rare dragons known as the “seventh breed,” hunt for a cure for a dangerously transformed ally, and forge fragile alliances — all while war and betrayal loom.
